Alberto 1ft (1.5ft including plinth) by Paul Oz

Introducing Paul Oz's amazing "Alberto" 1ft sculpture (1.5ft plus plinth), which depicts the classic horse insignia in a unique form. This sculpture is the culmination of an unusual artistic endeavour in which a stunt horse named Luminoso was trained to rear on one leg, a feat filmed in 3D by a network of 200 cameras. This dynamic position, with the horse's whole weight transmitted to one leg, was precisely cast into a 3ft tall, 30kg bronze sculpture that balances flawlessly without additional support. This degree of precision and detail would have been difficult to produce with traditional clay modelling, making "Alberto" a real work of modern art. Named after Ferrari's first F1 world winner, Alberto Ascari, this item not only reflects technological prowess but also pays tribute to a great name in racing history.
